DESCRIPTION
Living in an outpost on the Moon is dangerous. Survival on the Moon will require teamwork! Players will work together to solve a series of challenges grounded in real science about living and doing research on the Moon.
The premise of the game is a fictional story grounded in actual NASA science and research about what people might need in the future to live and work on the Moon. The challenges are based on real scientific concepts connected to lunar exploration. Players will assume the role of astronauts living and doing research in an outpost on the Moon. As players conduct research, a moonquake causes significant damage to the life support systems on the outpost. Survival on the Moon requires teamwork. Can players work together to quickly restore the necessary systems to survive?
